Beyond Repair
Beyond Repair is its latest solo cd. Eleven short tracks for modular synth, home made electronics and tape recorders. A true union between coarse substance of analogical devices and voltage of tense electronics. The core of Beyond Repair is the fusion of its contrasts. Permanent tension between chiselling and bare deconstruction, meditation and frontal sound, cold stasis and unstable dynamics. Eleven tracks that run without pause as a single composition that hits like a strong cut-up aggression…

"I explored for years the use of repetitive structures within different perspectives. in many cases, these figures involved long developments. 'cuts' is the effor…

Toss in trumpet fanfare laden acid psych straight out of the C.A. Quintet songbook, t…

My Galloping Heart
"On the night between the 1st and 2nd of April 2001, after a period of increasing fatigue, feebleness and shortness of breath, I understood that the reason must be bad function of the heart.
